5 boozy desserts dad will love

Looking for a way to make Father's Day a little bit more exciting? Set aside the golf ball paperweight and get Dad a nice bottle of liquor to add to his liquor cabinet; and while you're in there, get inspired to create something tasty.

Whether your dad has a sweet tooth or a penchant for night caps, you'll surely make his day with these delicious recipes:

1. Spiked ice cream

We all scream for (alcohol-infused) ice cream! There are tons of questionable, strange ice cream flavors out there, but who can question adding a splash of booze? With store-bought options like craft beer ice cream, you can trust the pros and grab a pint for Dad, or try making your own spiked concoction.

Surely Dad won't mind if we pilfer a bit of his whiskey for this rich and decadent dessert. The whiskey glaze in this recipe is worth bookmarking, a delicious mixture of dulce de leche and a splash of whiskey that can find a home atop any number of desserts!

3. Boozy ice pops

Father's Day is a summertime holiday for a reason – it's popsicle season! No need to stick with the boring, sugary kind. As we've previously asserted, popsicles aren't just for kids anymore, and Dad is no exception.

4. Baileys-boosted cupcakes

Channel Dad's inner Irishman with these clever cupcakes. Let's face it, Baileys was pretty much meant to become icing. Pour some Guinness into your chocolate cupcake batter and funnel in some Jameson into the filling and you've got yourself a cocktail cupcake like no other. Get the recipe here.

5. Drunken-raisin rice pudding

Raise a glass, grab a spoon and say "Cheers!" to Dad this Father's Day!
